I almost wonder if it would read easier if you said, "I'm uncomfortable with my daughters receiving things I can no longer provide, from one I cannot trust." But I don't know if you can go back and edit these pages.
I just found your comic and positively DEVOURED it over the last 5ish ours or so...what a lovely break from schoolwork!
I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed with where you've taken the storyline and how you fleshed out the characters. You have a new fan here, looking forward to the next update!
I just wanted to say how much I love your line work. So clean and beautiful. :) been reading this comic for awhile, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale. Keep up the gorgeous work!
Oh Papa, I get your concern, but I would trust Beauty where these gifts are concerned. Honestly, the suggestion to use these gifts to better their family's circumstances is a good one, and I hope that his pride doesn't get in the way of him seeing that. I feel like Virtue, at least, sees the value in selling the dresses--after all, she has a child to provide for, and what parent wouldn't want to make sure that their child had the best they could give them? I feel like this situation won't be resolved so easily, though.
